The Economists Who Stole Christmas – Project Syndu
How might opposing schools of economic thought – from neoclassical and Keynesian to Libertarian and Marxist, view Christmas presents? Levity aside, the answer reveals the pompousness and vacuity of each and every economic theory.
The High Cost of Denying Class War – Project Syndicate op-ed, 8th December 2017
ATHENS – The Anglosphere’s political atmosphere is thick with bourgeois outrage. In the United States, the so-called liberal establishment is convinced it was robbed by an insurgency of “deplorables” weaponized by Vladimir Putin’s hackers and Facebook’s sinister inner workings. In Britain, too, an incensed bourgeoisie are pinching themselves that support for leaving the European Union in favor of an inglorious isolation remains undented, despite a process that can only be described as a dog’s Brexit.
Lesbos’s Ghosts, Europe’s Disgrace – Project Syndicate op-ed, 31st October 2017
Oct 31, 2017 YANIS VAROUFAKIS , GEORGE TYRIKOS-ERGAS
In September alone, another 2,238 refugees arrived in Lesbos, despite Turkey’s attempts to cut the flow. A camp designed for 2,000 people now “houses” three times that number, behind rows of barbed wire, in a magma of mud, refuse, and human excrement.

The Promise of Fiscal Money – Project Syndicate op-ed
ATHENS – Western capitalism has few sacred cows left. It is time to question one of them: the independence of central banks from elected governments.
Europe’s Gradualist Fallacy – Project Syndicate op-ed
ATHENS – Europe is at the mercy of a common currency that not only was unnecessary for European integration, but that is actually undermining the European Union itself. So what should be done about a currency without a state to back it – or about the 19 European states without a currency that they control?
The logical answer is either to dismantle the euro or to provide it with the federal state it needs. The problem is that the first solution would be hugely costly, while the second is not feasible in a political climate favoring the re-nationalization of sovereignty.
